Another-object of the invention is to provide is a composition for the purpose specified which will keep in sealed receptacles "without appreciable deterioration for along time.

A further object of the invention is to provide a composition of the type specified which acts lo almost instantaneously toproduce the desired result and which, furthermore, is relatively inexpensive and easy of application.

Persons handling typewriting and hectographing supplies, such as ink-ribbons, inks, ink-rollers,

carbon papers and dyes of the phenol methane and azo types, either in the manufacture or use thereof, are generally obliged to efiect eliminat tion of resulting shin dlscolorations or stains by washing'with strong soaps, or abrasive soaps and my frequently resort to the use oi strong and in jurious chemicals and abrasives in order to obtain quick results at the close of a days worlr.

The composition of the present invention con- :sists, preferably, of by weight: twenty percent an? aqueous solution of titanium trichloride 1 part; glycerol, 1 part; grain alcohol, pure or 23A. special denatured alcohol containing ten per cent acetone, three parts.

Inthis composition the grain alcohol constitutes $5 a quick. solvent for the dye stains oi the several types mentioned; the titanium trichloride constitutes the reducing agent and the glycerol eX- The above described composition eflects' very rapid elimination of the aforesaid dye stains.

, The proportion of grain alcohol included in the changed and varied appreciably t6 speed or slow up the action of the compound and, as tc the alcohol and glycerol employed,it will beunderstoodr that equivalents or substantial equivalents thereof may be substituted therefor, all without de- 15 parture from the invention as defined in the appended claims.

The composition is more stable if grain alcohol is omitted therefrom and in instances where the same is omitted and the nature of the stain to be removed is such that the titanium triohloride. water and glycerol do not act efiectively within a specified time, the grain alcohol may he used separately in advance of or simultaneously with the mixture of titanium trichloricle} glycerol and 25 water.
